Solid tempo expected primarily from Captains Choice and Storm Ahead. STORM AHEAD (8) looks well placed. He's off a short let-up into this but ran a strong race at Cranbourne when last seen, working home well for a narrow second. He lands in a great spot here from the low gate, likely just behind the leaders, and from there he'll go close. SUBTLE POWER (11) is ready to win fourth up. Her past two have been good when placing, only beaten a long neck at Pakenham over 1600m last time out. Up in trip now suits ideally and she draws to possibly pocket the main danger. SACRED EAGLE (1) has been good in the country cups scene of late. Back a fair way to a BM62 here, hence the weight rise, he too maps for a good run and can be competitive. WEATHER DELAY (9) was just fair second up off a solid return but can improve over more ground while AICHI ICON (2) is in great form although this is another step up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Storm Ahead to win.
